INSTAllATION<br />
SOGEC installs or supervises the installation of any cathodic protection systems<br />
in any part of the Arabian Gulf Countries.<br />
TESTING AND COMMISSIONING<br />
Upon the completion of the installation of the cathodic protection systems,<br />
SOGEC engineers test and commission the CP System, adjust the output current<br />
and voltage to achieve the required level of protection for the structure.<br />
MONITORING OF THE SYSTEMS<br />
SOGEC offers a monitoring procedure to maintain control of the protection<br />
system with regular inspection so that continuous protection is ensured and<br />
maintained.<br />
AC INTERFERENCE & MITIGATION<br />
SOGEC represents in Saudi Arabia ARK Engineering & Technical Services Inc.<br />
which is a leading company for the AC Interference & Mitigation.<br />
CIPS & DCVG SURVEY<br />
The Close Interval Potential Survey (CIPS) and Direct Current Voltage Gradient<br />
(DCVG) Survey are two techniques that work together using the pipeline’s<br />
Cathodic Protection System to evaluate its protective efficiency and its coating<br />
conditions.<br />

PWHT<br />
PWHT is an abbreviation for Post weld Heat Treatment. It is carried out<br />
by electrical resistant method or by (furnace firing or internal firing) with<br />
high velocity fuel burners. There are three main benefits, stress relaxation,<br />
tempering and hydrogen removal. The first two benefits are the generally<br />
the reason for the heating operation, with hydrogen removal being<br />
considered as a bonus.<br />
PRE-HEATING<br />
Thermal stresses are set up as a molten weld cools. Cracking can<br />
occur during and after welding. Pre Heating reduces the temperature<br />
differentials between the weld metal and the parent metal, thus minimizing<br />
the tendency to crack.<br />
NORMAlIZING<br />
Normalizing / Annealing heat treatment is to improve the mechanical<br />
properties of steel; tensile strength and impact value are improved leading<br />
to better resistance to brittle fracture.<br />
For instance, with mild steel, the temperature would be approximately<br />
900ºC (1650F) that is 50ºC above the upper critical point.<br />
